Luckily, Google has put a hold on all these and has set up a dedicated web page which does enough to kill the mystery.

Google TV minisite reveals a bunch of details including that Twitter, Pandora, Netflix, Amazon, and a bunch of other apps are on their way to your TV. The site explains that Google TV is

your TV complete with search engine

a place where you can browse the whole of the web

a service which brings apps to the TV

a device on which you can watch TV and browse the web on the screen at the same time.

In order to experience the Google TV goodness, you need to either wait for Sony’s Internet TV or the standalone Logitech Revue. There is no word on when exactly either of these will be available in the market, but it is widely rumored that Logitech revue will be revealed on October 6th 2010.
